It's been 35 years since President Ronald Reagan opened the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville. All these years later a handful of things remain from the iconic summer: the Sunsphere, World's Fair Park and Volunteer Landing. Add another to the list.

In honor of the 35th anniversary, Knoxville's Rick Kuhlman and a handful of partners have resurrected World's Fair Beer, a niche beer marking the momentous fair and the year Knoxville was invited to the world's stage.

"It’s honestly such a blessing for us to be able to be a part of this and be a part of this iconic adventure and being able to bring back such a piece of Knoxville history," World's Fair Beer partner Harrison Collins said.

Kuhlman and the group of four partners began pushing for the relaunch in earnest in January. They plan to sell the beer the same length as the fair, through October.

Twenty percent of the beer's profits will be donated to local Knoxville charities. The group is soliciting locations deserving of the donations, Collins said.

"This beer is much more than just bringing back a great tasting beer, it’s much more than that for us," he said. "In order for it to have some weight to it, we wanted to be able to give back."

The beer is brewed and distributed locally by Fanatic Brewing Company and Cherokee Distributing Co. Inc. respectively.
